Not enitrely sure about this case, because those dog leg lugs look very, very beefy for a 168.005. Then again, the dial looks ok to me. Caseback doesn't look that familiar to me.

Maybe a Brazilian or a British case?

I agree: based on what I learned from Desmond's blog,
- the lugs are too beefy and not refined enough
- font also seems not right: the 2nd 'o' of 'chronometer' seems off, therefore missing MOY
- facetting of the lugs on the backside also seems not defined well enough, although the pictures are not very clear.
- medaillion too rough too
- crown very (suspiciously?) sharp
- seems that the gold hallmark is missing on the backside of the lugs

All in all: at first glance too crisp to be true...
Seller might not be aware?

That looks like the elusive Omlga, an Eastern European Omega variant with the legendary linen checkerboard dial.
